Motorists between Atlanta and the charming suburb of Marietta, on the north, may hook back the throttles of their racore until y tfiey are fairly straightening out the kinks In the road and hitting only the high places—until they get to Smyrna. And this doesn’t menn until tJjey get to the business sec tion of that'entcrprislqg village, or to the mayor's office, or to the calaboose, where they will eventually land If they don’t shut off the speed Juice exactly as they reftch the outward limits. They have got to soft-pedal down to eight miles per hour—or less—all the time they are in Smyrna. As the lim its are quite extensive, this means they will spend considerable time in Smyrna at olght miles per hour. Smyrna is up to date. Smyrna had a law against riding bicycles on the sidewalks by the time, Atlanta did. In fact, Smyrna had the law before she had the sidewalks. She got tho$b later so she could enforce the law. Smyrna refuses to be left behind on any point of civic legislation. Smyrna had the anti-expectoratlon-on-the- sldewalk law about two days after At lanta got It, having already construct ed sidewalks so she could pinch bicy clists for riding pn them. • Smyrna was a bit slow on the antl- speed auto ordinance. But she has It now, all right, and the unwary autolst will have to gazo at the enterprising town sliding by In slow time—not more than eight miles per hour—or he will have to add 25 large and perfectly good dollars to its coffers. Beginning with this recent June 1. EISEMAN BROS. 11-13-15-17 Whitehall St. ATLANTA Baltimore, Md. Washington, D. (5. MRS. FRANCES TIERNAN WINS NOTRE D^ME MEDAL Charlotte, N.

COMMISSION FORM AGITATED IN CHARLOTTE Charlotte, N. C„ June 3.—Apropos of the commlaelon form of government whlrh la being agitated In Atlanta and many Southern cities, and which for aeveral months engaged the attention of this city, Vhen It was attempted if possible to secure such, Charlotte has taken a step In that direction which It Is believed by many will ultimately lead to the "commission form" In the In stallation of an "executive board" of live members under an amendment to the city charter, the said board possess ing very extensive powers and being composed of men who as far as possi ble, according to the purport of the charter amendment, were to be chosen on a nonpartisan basis, , Mayor Will Ride Goat In Distinguished Cdbipany Harvey Johnson Is anticipating t)ie Job of "mayoring” the city Saturday. The secretary fqars that the mayor will not be down. The mayor, on the other hand; Insists that anybody that can g<> thru tin- campaign he went thru to get where he Is can ride any goat that anybody ever got—could ride a procession of gouts. So, there you are. Anyway, mayor or no mayor, one goat or & series of goats, Robert F. Maddox is scheduled to receive the Entered Apprentice de gree and all that comes with It at the regular communication of Palestine lodge No. 486, Free aud Accepted Ma sons, at the new Masonic temple Fri day evening at 8 o’clock. Just what distinction there Is .be tween a regular meeting and a regular communication those who have not been Entered Apprenticed do not know, but whatever it Is the mayor woMd like to know before Friday evening at 8 o’clock. And there are others equally as In terested In learning all they can In some peaceful, quiet way before Friday evening, and they are about as .well known as the mayor himself, for It Is a distinguished company which takes the Entered Apprentice degre in Masonry at that time. There’s Frederick J. Paxon, promi nent as merchant, as member of The Ten club, as chairman of the Fulton County Joe'Brown club, who will also be right In the midst of the Initiating —the object. And Asa O. Candled, Jr., will leave off building that great auto race track long enough to be entertained at the same exercises. Also there’s Ben Lee Crew, who looked after a large part of both the music and the festival of the music festival, and James LeConte An derson—all prominent men, will accom pany the mayor. THE CUB REPORTER £& a Story On Lunar Eclipses BY OSCAR, THE BOY JOURNALIST. Thursday morning tho city editor "aid what was I doing and to atop It before It got tiny worsts. He said the strike waa near enough over for me to leave off picket duty and that he wanted me to get ready for a total eclipse of the moon that evening. 1 didn't at tlrst see what I had to do with -the moon eclipsing, but I was glad to hear about the strike being over and that-1 wouldn't have to act as Picket any more. Picket duty Is sitting down In front of a door with a .con ference going on Inside for hours and hours, until Anally, Just as you are beginning to doxe off, a tnll, wide man comes out very red in the face and says there Is nothing to give out and what In thunder do you want to hang around here all the time for when I said 1 would call up the papers when I wanted to announce anything. So I was glad about the strike being over and ready to take on the moon or most anything else except confer ences. I told the city editor this and he said yes; that he thought I could probably do better with a lunar eclipse than I could with a strike and anyway he was sure I couldn’t do any worse. 1 thought this was quite a compliment at the time, but since I have written It out It looks sort of suspicious. My Star Assignment. Well, he told me we u-ere full up for today nnd to eat my lunch and then go and read up something about eclipses and see If I could spot this one. I asked him how nbostt imagining something about It In case of rain, like that famous Elks parade, and he said If I pulled off another stunt like that there would be a new cub on the job DANIEL’S Sensible Summer Suits They’re made for us by Hart, Schaffner & Marx, and Rogers, Peet & Go.

Somebody said that would be In 1020, and 1 was feeling relieved when some body else said no, the next one came about Thanksgiving. So I went out, to eat some brains and eggs with a heavy heart. While I was eating I had an Inspira tion. It must have been the brains. Milt Saul says In tfew York tho big reporters live on calves' brains. Ho says he used to train on them when he was In the newspaper business. He says he doesn’t need them any more now, or any other kind. He says I ought to eat them regularly; thnt he wants to* see Just. how far a young man can go on calves' brains. A Chance for a Scoop. ' Anyway, the Inspiration was, why not scoop the other papers on the eclipse?. This seemed like u fine Idea, but It didn’t take me long to see that It would be pretty hard to do. You see, to scoop the other papers on an eclipse you would have to see something In It the other reporters didn't, or else say you saw something nobody can prove you didn't see. That Is called "getting away with It.” Well, I decided I would try to get away with It, and Just then who should come In and sit down at the same tilbte but one of the boys from the weather man's bureau. This looked ‘like a stroke of providence out of a clear sky, so I sat there and got him to tell me about the eclipse and the umbra nnd the penultimate, which up to this time I had thought was something about grammar, and after about an hour I came away simply crammed with lunar eclipses and solar plexuses—I think that, was It—not to mention calves' brains and Inspirations. It was pretty cloudy and rainy about that time, which fell In nicely with my plans for getting away with It, and I went up to the Carnegie library hoping It would keep on raining, or at least clouding, until after 9 o'clock, when the eclipse would be over. Can't Be Postponed. My Idea was this; The boy from the weather man's bureau had told me there wasn't any way to postpone the eclipse In case of rain. He seemed quite sure of this. It was one of these things that have to come off, rain or shine, like death and taxes. So I Ag- ured that by going up In a balloon a couple of miles the whole performance could be aeen, as the clouds wouldn't be In the way. The weather boy had told me that, too, but I could have Agured It out anyway. Now, I didn't expect to go up In a balloon, but I was pretty sure none of the other reporters were going to do that either. So I got out aome books on astronomy* at the library and began writing up the ewellest dope story you ever read. There didri’t seem to be much sensa tional dope on moon eclipses, so I turned over to the part nbout sun eclipses, where there wa* lots of It. All about "onrushlng shadow” and “Aim ing corona" and "startling spectrum" and “spectral analysis" nnd so on. The last sounded like ghosts, and, remem bering with another Inspiration that I was supposed to be writing about the moon and that it was to he night, I ladled In some telling shots about ■pooklsh appearances and scary spec ters which Atted In with the scitntlAc dope very nicely, I thought. It all got to be so real to me, how It would look from two miles, high In a balloon, and my Imagination was work ing so well, that I [nit In a lot of real istic stuff about how the tops of the office buildings were thronged with spectators, wildly admiring the super nal beauty of the spectacle and how the streets were packed to suffocation with congested onlookers and all that sort ot thing. It was. pretty fine, I can tell you. Besting the Eclipse. When I had finished. I could almost believe the whole thing myself. It waa still early Ih the afternoon, and the eclipse Isn’t to come off until 7:30 o'clock this evening, ho I thought with Joy of not only scooping the other pa llet's on the details, but actually scoop ing the eclipse Itself by getting my story In ahead of It. I was very proud and happy as I strolled carelessly up to the city editor's desk and laid my masterpiece down on It. It must have been about four columns long. too. The city editor waa sitting back In his chair with his feet on top of the desk. He picked up my story and be gun running thru It. That man can read faster than an automobile.

He said: "You ore supposed to be looking at this—thta—er-r-r spectacle from a balloon two miles high, aren't you?" I said yes, that was It exactly. I was dighted to see how he hod caught my Ca ’ Not Very Enthuelaetle. He said: "Very Ane. Did you take the thronged oAlce buildings up In the balloon, too? And the streets and the congested onlookers? I thought It was cloudy down here.” . So It was. I had forgot that. I was going on In a hurry over that point to show him the beautiful part about solar spectrums and all that, but he began tearing up my story Into very small bits, whlrh he wadded up carefully and ■ pped into the waste bosket. _ie said: "I think It will rain tonight and I've left my umbrella ot home." I said t agreed with him nnd that mine was there, too. He said I hnd better go and get It. as I might need It tomorrow, As I was going out of tho door I heard him say something that sounded like "luna and lunatics" Luna” meann moon.
